In recent times, last-mile delivery has taken on growing importance. Furthermore, customers are demanding real-time tracking. High-performing logistics is therefore inseparable from a quality customer relationship. The increased need for efficiency and visibility — as well as for delivering a better customer experience — is driving a change in organization and a shift towards specialized software solutions.

Solutions for organizing and tracking deliveries

With the explosion of online purchases, transport and logistics companies must meet several challenges:

increased volumes,
compliance with promised deadlines,
accessibility of shipping data for all parties,
protection of delivery drivers.

To meet all of these imperatives, they must remove the barriers between customer and logistics departments and use common or interconnected IT tools in order to streamline the mass sharing of data. Major industry players have therefore developed large connected logistics optimization platforms integrating CRM and Supply Chain functionalities — with numerous advantages:

Digitalization of documents for contactless delivery in compliance with security protocols.
Route optimization to reduce costs and delays.
Automation of resource allocation.
Monitoring of shipments at any time and from anywhere.
Providing customers and all stakeholders with an estimated parcel arrival date, with updates at every stage.

Specific software for service logistics

But logistics is not limited to stock and warehouse management and the delivery of goods. For service companies, it also involves:

installing equipment,
activating a subscription,
connecting a property to the gas network,
removing rubble after construction work,
carrying out maintenance operations,
providing troubleshooting support,
and so on.

These services involve coordinating field interventions and equipment.

These requirements explain the success of Field Service Management (FSM) software in recent years. Such solutions provide better awareness of field realities: subcontractor technicians can transmit photos and videos to central teams from their smartphones and, in return, benefit from faster and more effective remote assistance from experts.

Some publishers have specialized in specific professions, such as route optimization and the management of mobile agents (MWM — Mobile Workforce Management).

The future of logistics optimization tools

To move up a gear, logistics solution developers will leverage all new technologies. Following the advent of the Cloud, artificial intelligence, connected objects, machine learning, virtual reality, and augmented reality will all play a greater role. They will positively impact collaboration between back-office teams and mobile workers — as well as any partners involved. Beyond planning and monitoring operations, these technologies offer an effective means of optimizing all processes.

Another shift has emerged in the software market: the era of multi-year license purchases is giving way to the subscription model, which is gaining in popularity. Small businesses and SMEs that previously had no access to these tools can now benefit from them, improving their productivity and agility — just like large corporations.
